Bottlenecking question

[GazEaton]

Hi all

I was watching a video on YouTube about bottlenecking, I basically understand that you have a strong GPU and a weak CPU that the GPU wont perform at 100% blar blar blar...

Now what I did yesterday was, used a GPU and CPU monitor and whilst in Valley benchmark, my GPU was floating between 95-100%.

Would this be classed as a bottleneck? as it doesn't keep to 100% while under full load. (not a straight line basically)

i3 3220 @ 3.30Mhz
HIS 7850 2GC @ 1050/1250

yeah same, about 50-75%

It was the Jayz2cents review on YouTube.

I will take some screen shots later on when im home with the evidence i gathered.
